Chapter 424: The power of the Thundergod's slash

As the sparks of lightning condensed themselves on the sword's surface, Shun Long used his soul sense to suppress them and make them gather around the sword's edge.

As the sparks of lightning all gathered in the sword's edge and the strange and complicated patterns on the sword's surface lit up with a bright golden light that seemed to have reached its peak, Shun Long slashed the sword forward using all of his strength!

At that moment, the sparks of lightning all merged together, as a terrifying, black-colored slash that seemed to be infused with the 'Dao of Lightning' emerged from the sword's edge and traveled towards the golden-robed young man opposite to Shun Long.

The moment that 'senior brother Qiong' saw the terrifying slash that was coming his way, his eyes involuntarily widened while a feeling of lethal danger appeared in his heart.

He could feel that this sword slash was powerful enough to completely kill him and even eradicate his soul if it ended up striking his body, leaving him with no room for survival.

''How is this possible? How can a small rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator be so powerful?''

Originally, 'senior brother Qiong' had thought, that although Shun Long was probably slightly faster than the average peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, there was still no way for him to pose any danger towards him.

However, after feeling the 'Dao of Lightning' and the terrifying force hidden inside this black-colored slash, he realized that he may actually be weaker than him even in a head-on fight!

At that moment, Shun Long saw the golden-robed young man's eyes suddenly become focused as the pillar of light above his head seemed to have reached its peak power.

Thrusting his palm forward, 'senior brother Qiong' then shouted

''Saint low-grade martial skill, Inferno pillar!''

The huge flame pillar above his head rapidly increased in size, becoming 3 times larger than before, before it flew directly towards Shun Long's black-colored sword slash!

As for the remaining 4 middle rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators that were watching this scene, their faces immediately paled when they sensed the power behind Shun Long's and the golden-robed man's attack.

They could feel as if the blood was being drained from their bodies, as they scurried away from the scene without any hesitation!

Although their strength was only a minor level away from the golden-robed young man's and they had only stayed in this place because they were secretly waiting for a chance to sneak attack him and obtain the Holy sect's token, they could now clearly feel that none of them would survive if they were caught up between the 2 attacks created by 2 Saint low-grade martial skills.

Putting aside the fact that two of these middle rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators were originally subordinates of the black-robed woman and the old man, and had no hope of obtaining the Holy sect's token in the first place, the other 2 that were participating in the Holy sect's test, had actually chosen Saint low-grade cultivation techniques to comprehend during the second test.

Even if they erupted with their full strength, they would be unable to last for more than a second if they were caught in the midst of Shun Long's and the golden-robed man's attacks.

After all, most of the disciples participating in the Holy sect's test would usually choose cultivation techniques instead of martial skills from the barrier of knowledge.

Although martial skills could increase their strength during a crucial fight, cultivation techniques could help them increase their cultivation at an even faster rate than before.

Of course, those disciples who came from powerful forces and already had a few Saint-low grade cultivation techniques to choose from, would then choose martial skills during the second test of the Holy sect.

And this golden-robed young man was precisely such a person.

Finally, the moment that the 'Thundergod's slash' met 'senior brother Qiong's' 'Inferno pillar', the entire world seemed to have dimmed for a moment, before a horrifying explosion shook the small city!

BOOOM!

As the huge flame pillar collided with the black-colored slash that was empowered with the 'Dao of Lightning', it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

It didn't matter if it was the 2 other groups that were lead by peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts, or the disciples at the city walls that were fighting with the criminals there, everyone subconsciously turned their heads at the same time, as they stared at the explosion that shook the whole city.

Orange flames filled with lightning seemed to have filled in the sky, as the massive flame pillar collided with the black-colored slash.

And yet, 'senior brother Qiong's' expression finally changed when he felt the gigantic flame pillar that he had condensed, being destroyed inch by inch.

The powerful black-colored sword slash was barely stopped for a single moment by the huge flame pillar, before it started to cut through the flames, as it slowly split the 'inferno pillar' in half.

The golden-robed 'senior brother Qiong's' eyes widened in disbelief when he saw this scene, as he hurriedly started to inject even more of his qi into the flame pillar, in an attempt to stop the terrifying black-colored slash from cutting through it!

However, no matter how much qi he injected in it, he only managed to slow down the 'Thundergod's slash', and was unable to completely stop it.

''No! How is this possible? I am a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage genius!''

The golden-robed young man could no longer hold back his shock as he shouted out in anger and disbelief.

He couldn't understand how it was possible for the attack of an early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator to overpower his 'inferno pillar', to the state where he was unable to completely stop it even after injecting a huge amount of his qi.

After all, the difference in cultivation between himself and Shun Long should have been impossible to be bridged, especially when they were both using Saint low-grade martial skills.

Of course, how could the golden-robed man's 'inferno pillar' that had barely reached a 20 percent level of comprehension, compare to Shun Long's 'Thundergod's slash'?

Not only had Shun Long's level of comprehension over this martial skill reached a shocking 92 percent, but his attack was also augmented by his extremely pure qi, and was also supported by a peak rank 1 star-rank weapon.

At the same time, during the last 4 years, Shun Long had only absorbed extremely pure qi from the 'Heaven Swallowing vine', while the qi inside his 'qi balls' was filtered even further thanks to the 'Monarch's Hourglass'.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say, that there was no other cultivator at the early stages of the Nascent Soul who could even come close to compare the purity of their qi with Shun Long.

It was these 3 factors that allowed Shun Long to be able to breach the difference in cultivation levels and fight equally against a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage expert.

Anger and fear flashed through the golden-robed young man's eyes at the same time when he saw that the black-colored slash was about to completely cut through his flame pillar.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and gave up on the 'inferno pillar', as he immediately turned around and tried to escape.

Without any further support from his qi however, the flame pillar that was on the verge of collapse instantly dispersed, as the black-colored slash continued to fly towards the golden-robed man's direction.

''NO! I CAN'T DIE!''

The golden-robed man shouted madly as he tried to outrun the terrifying slash that was becoming bigger and bigger in his eyes.

However, no matter what he did, it was impossible to escape this attack.

As the powerful slash cut through his body, the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage young man was split in two halves, and under the 4 middle rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators' terrified gazes, his body lifelessly collapsed on the ground.
